Such an amazing and well thought out card set, you can witness the love and care put into each one by the creater as you look through and use them, and its as if Ellie us in the room suggesting these activities to you.
Due to how well they are explained, these are ideal for beginners, family’s or even therapists that are bringing something new into a session with clients.
Absolutely would recommend and have done to people prior.
